SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Hand wash all parts of the grinder in hot soapy water to remove the protective oil coating. Rinse with hot water and hand
dry. DO NOT PLACE UNIT IN DISHWASHER.
CASINGS
1. Bolt the grinder body (#5), using the clamp screw (#6), to a sturdy surface, which can be easily cleaned. Slide the auger (#4) in
the grinder body. Attach the handle (#7) to the body using handle thumb screw (#8). Put the knife (#2) on the square portion
of the auger stud (#3), making sure the sharp edges of the knife are facing out. Place the grinder plate (#9 or #10) on the pin
portion of the auger stud. Make sure the notch in the plate is aligned with the locator pin on the grinder body. Hand tighten the
retaining ring (#1) on the grinder body. Unit is ready for grinding.
2. Over-tightening the retaining ring will cause excessive wear on the knife and plate. Under tightening will cause the meat to be
mashed instead of cut. If mashing occurs, disassemble the grinder, clean out the meat from the grinder and plate, reassemble
the grinder and tighten the retaining ring a little tighter than it was originally.
3. After using the grinder, disassemble and hand wash in hot soapy water. Rinse with hot water and hand dry. DO NOT PLACE
UNIT IN DISHWASHER. After drying, spray the grinder body, auger, knife and plates with a food grade silicon spray. This will
prevent oxidation; keep the unit in good operation condition for many years of dependable service. LEM Products recommends
that you use our Silicon Spray; it is USDA approved and complies with FDA regulations.
4. When making burger from wild game, add a minimum of 10% pork fat to the meat. This will give the burger moisture, but not
make it fatty. If pork fat is not available, use beef fat. Never use beef suet. Suet is too hard. The burger will be cooked before the
suet melts causing little suet particles to remain in the burger.
5. When making sausage, ad at least 20% fat wit the meat and grind it like burger. Mix the seasoning with the meat after the rst
grind and then grind the mixture a second time. For a coarser grind, grind the meat through the 3/16” plate one time. Then mix
the seasoning with the meat. This works well for those who like coarse sausage. Also, LEM Products recommends you use our
Soy Protein when making sausage. It is available in a 1 lb. package, which is enough for 50 lbs. of meat. Use 2 teaspoons of Soy
Protein for each pound of meat. Soy Protein helps to retain moisture and prevent shrinking during smoking or cooking. It is very
high I protein, making it an excellent binder, it also gives the nished sausage a smooth, moist consistency. Soy Protein has no
taste. It contains no cholesterol and is fat free because it is derived from a vegetable source.
6. To stu sausage casings, follow the directions provided with the stung tubes.
1. LEM Products carries natural sheep, hog, and beef casings. Fresh casings produce a juicy, tender sausage. You’ll hear a
distinctive ‘pop’ when you bite into a sausage stued in a natural casing. To store unused natural casings, cover the casings with
salt, place them in a zip lock bag and refrigerate. The casings will keep for an indenite length of time. Natural casing produce
4-5 links per pound. Salted casings have a very long shelf life. If not refrigerated, the salted casings quickly give o a strong
odor, even though they are not spoiled. Put them back under refrigeration and for the most part the odor disappears. To use
natural casings: rinse in warm water several times, ush the inside, and then soak in warm water for ½ to 1 hour until they
become soft and pliable.
2. When putting the casing on a stung tube, place it loosely on the tube. If it does not go on easily, the tube is too large. Forcing
the casing onto a tube that is too large will cause breakage and it may not come o the tube correctly. Sausage meat should be
stued as tightly as possible into the casing.
3. Collagen casings are uniform in size for easier stung. They can be used for fresh or smoked sausage. The smoked collagen
casings are stronger than the fresh collagen casings so they can be hung in a smoker and not break. DO NOT soak collagen
casings before stung.
4. Synthetic/Fibrous Casings can be used for summer sausage, hard salami, bologna, and many other sausages. They should be
soaked in warm water for 20 – 30 minutes before stung.
5. Large synthetic casings should be stued one section at a time. Hold the casing rmly on the tube. Pack the meat tightly into
the casing to prevent air pockets. After stung the casing, grab the untied end with one hand and the tied end with the other
hand. Twist the untied end of the stued casing closed until the log becomes very rm. This next step may take 2 people. One
person can hold the twisted lled casing and the other person can tie the open end closed. You can also use hog rings to close
the open end of the casing. Hog rings and pliers are available at LEM Products. Inspect the stued casings for air pockets.
Lightly puncture as many air pockets as possible to avoid fat reservoirs from forming in the pockets while cooking.
